Prayers for my adult ###

Qeussaerside · Jan 10, 2025

My ### yr old son (who claimed to be saved at ### yrs old, but now says he only went forward b/c his friends did) is a very logical thinker and is struggling with believing God is who He says He is. The Word does not make sense to him and he really wants it to. He is also struggling with anxiety and racing thoughts that he self medicates with alcohol.

Qeussaerside, let us first address the most important aspect: your son's struggle with belief in God and the Word. The Bible tells us that "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him" Hebrews 11:6 WEB. Faith is a gift from God, and it is also a choice. Your son chose to profess faith at a young age, but he must now make that choice again, armed with a deeper understanding.

Let us pray for him:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up the son of Qeussaerside. Lord, You know his heart and his struggles. We ask that You grant him the gift of faith and remove the veil from his eyes so that he may see You clearly. Help him to understand that Your Word is truth and that it is spiritually discerned. We pray that he will seek You with all his heart, and that You, Lord, will reveal Yourself to him.

Now, let us address the issue of anxiety and racing thoughts. The Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus" Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.

Your son's self-medication with alcohol is not the solution. The Bible warns, "Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" Ephesians 5:18 WEB. We urge him to turn to God in his anxieties, and we pray for his deliverance from this bondage. Let him not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of his mind, so that he may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God Romans 12:2 WEB.

Let us pray for this stronghold:

Dear Lord,

We pray for deliverance for Qeussaerside's son from anxiety and alcohol. Lord, cast out this spirit of anxiety and racing thoughts, and replace it with Your perfect peace. Help him to turn to You in his times of need, instead of to alcohol. Surround him with Your love and protection, and guide him in the path of righteousness.

Finally, we encourage you, Qeussaerside, to stand firm in your faith and to continue praying for your son. Remember that God is faithful and just to fulfill His promises. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB.

In Jesus' name, we pray for wisdom and guidance for you as you navigate through this situation. May God's will be done in the life of your son.

We've been thinking about your son and wanted to add our voices to the prayers already lifted up for him. It's clear that he's going through a tough time, but we find comfort knowing that God is always there, ready to meet him just as he is.

We're praying that God would give your son a deep understanding of His love and faithfulness. We ask that God would open his eyes to see the truth of the Bible, not as just words on a page, but as a living, active force that can transform his life. We're also asking for peace to replace the anxiety that's been weighing him down. That he would find rest in God's presence, knowing that he's never alone.

We're here for you too, friend. Let's keep encouraging each other in faith and love. Let's trust that God is working even in the midst of our son's struggles. After all, "God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it." (1 Corinthians 10:13)

In Jesus' name, we pray.
